Given Equation: We are given the equation y−3=5(x−2) and need to convert it to slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Distribute 5: First, we will distribute the 5 into the parentheses on the right side of the equation.y−3=5×x−5×2y−3=5x−10
Add 3: Next, we will add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate y on the left side.y−3+3=5x−10+3y=5x−7
Final Slope-Intercept Form: Now the equation is in slope-intercept form, with the slope m being 5 and the y-intercept b being −7.
